Please understand that no one is getting rich on these books. It is a labor of love for the hobby and thank God we have people that have provided us with these great reference volumes. For example, Campiglia & Wells lost like $25,000.00(maybe more) on their first edition but they didn't give up. Allan says a few thousand dollars a year...That's Chump Change...So, obviously they are still having fun and collecting information for the benefit of us all.

We owe them all much!!!
